Junior Loop Bills 293 Night Tiffs Boston-(UPB-The 1960 Amer ican league schedule calls for a record number of 293 night games and for someone to ex plain why it will start a week later than the National league's. ' American leaguers aren't at all happy that their season opens on April 18 while the National league starts its cam paign on April 12. So far there has been no explanation ex cept for the fairly obvious fact that someone goofed. Anyway, the Red Sox and Senators officially open the AL season with the presiden tial opener at Washington, April 18. One day later, De troit opens at Cleveland, Kan sas City at Chicago. New York at Boston and Washington at Baltimore. Detroit, New York and Kansas City open their home seasons on April 12. Most in History Like the National league which increased its schedule of night games to a major league record totay of 312, the American league also will play the most games in its his tory. This year's total of 293 marks an increase of 31 night games over last year's total. Although the AL is getting a later start than the National, it will close on the same day as the senior circuit, Oct. 2. IWSIALLEED!
